Madison Chock & Evan Bates: 2nd at US Nationals 2014!

Madison Chock and Evan Bates celebrate with their coaches Igor Shpilband and Adrienne Lenda after their free dance during the 2014 Prudential U.S. Figure Skating Championships held at TD Garden on Saturday night (January 11) in Boston, Mass.

The ice dance partners placed second, with 181.44 total points, just behind champs Meryl Davis and Charlie White.

“I think we got lucky,” Evan, 24, shared about their partnership. “I knew I wanted to skate with her, but I didn’t think the relationship would be as good as it is. We have really an ideal relationship in how well we get along together. We love spending time together. We have shared goals and when the pressure is on we skate well together.”

The top three ice dance teams will be going to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Congrats to Madison and Evan!
